| It's extensive. The City denies it. I've seen it. Still, the City denies it. I've been through most, but not all of it. The City denies the existence flat-out period end of sentence. I filmed it, screened the film, and still, the City denies it.

| | | KK, 1. I don't doubt that Victoria has tunnels as far as the Hudson's Bay, and probably into the Emperess sub-basements (the tidal ones...), probably even as far over as the Legislative Buildings too. (although those ones are probably full of a wide variety of political poo by now...alternating layers of left/right wing poo...an archeological adventure to see who backstabbed who...) 2. I just doubt that there are tunnels running to Fairfield, to Swan Lake, or some of the other outlandish claims. Sewers, yes. (CSO, and sanitary). Different story there than claims of tunnels for smuggling/opium/coal/ect. Just do some math: a stand up tunnel would be 5x2 ft, so 10 cu ft/lin foot. So for a mile of construction, that's 1955 cu yd of material (1820 cuM if you are metric inclined). Where did they dump the 2000 yds of material per mile? In 1910...and HOW did they move it. That's 8800 wheelbarrows full of material/mile. The downtown core is compact enough that I can see managing to dig tunnels like that. If you use 6 yd/day/worker, it costs 333 work days/mile of tunnel. (I suspect that you would NOT get 6 yd/day because of the constraints of being underground- that's a surface # I have seen quoted) 3. I know about the film, are you going to have another screening in the nearish future in the Vic area? I'd be up to meeting people, I'm a generally nice enough guy...not more than 13 murder convictions, 169% of my body covered in tattoos, and would bring only ONE of my guns...but it's a 76mm jobby.

| | | Yes, KK. Why in God's name would there be a tunnel to Swan's Lake? (LOL). Secondly. Don't believe we have tunnels in Fairfield? Perhaps you should look back on the *cough* photos *cough* posted on this thread. And then there's ones that don't get their photos put on the 'net because the internet is kinda stupid. (Av-X, i'm not dissing you or anything. Your website is cool. UER definitely has its place and its role in cultural exchanges. I'm just kinda stating a general reality that is good to keep in mind). Yes, sewer tunnels, drain tunnels, and fully walkable opium tunnels, and then some. Yes, here in Victoria we have all of these. Big ones, small ones, medium size one, enough to keep every half-starving head-tax paying Chinese immigrant from 1880 to 1920 busy. How did we move rock? The tunnels weren't secret when they were built. We also used trains. Chinese people and miners from Nanaimo. KK knows. We all know. Alright. My work here is done for the day. It's 1:00.............that means it's beertime!

| | | About tunnel photos; Many pics on our private threads... some of kinky parties, some of tunnels. Some of kinky parties in tunnels. And in K.K.'s film. Even a few slightly blurry, -I mean it was scary- images of people in hoods. They were in the distance, faces hidden, we looked at each other, then back, and not a trace. They seemed to have melted into the walls. I had a terrifying experience at Swan Lake last winter. Put my kayak in around dusk at the wharf. Was hoping to get some photos of birds. After puttering along the shore for a bit, I turned and headed towards the middle of this small lake. A few minutes later, something darkened the already darkish water. I blinked and refocused. What could make such a huge part of the lake suddenly pitch black? I sat there stunned; the blackness was moving, weird currents started happening, my kayak seemed to start shaking, at a very high frequency. Managed to lift my camera, took a blurry photo, then it seized when advancing the film. Something huge was rising to the surface! Terrified, I tried to back paddle, turn and bolt for the dock, but the water had a mind of it's own, it gripped my tiny craft like the backwash at the edge of a treacherous waterfall! Then it surfaced, an obscenely huge massive submarine, almost bigger than the lake itself, it's nose scraped the shore, it's stern almost too. It rose like a whale, water pouring off it's oily flanks, and suddenly, gradually, descended. Freakiest thing I've ever seen... Once submerged (safe to assume) it went back to the Empress through the underground canal built by Krupps (Heil) during WWII. *Disclaimer: Believe it or not, all of this post is fiction except the first and last line. There are rumors of a German submarine base being built in the Queen Charlotte Islands during WWII. I have paddled there, and we found some weird industrial relics.

| | | Pardon me if this isn't Vic specific. It is Island specific. Vancouver island seems to be lacking a lot of high locations where on can camp out for the night. The mainland has sites abound. I like ham, pirate, and CB radio, as well as nighttime long exposure camera pano fun. Elevations with a view make all these things much more enjoyable. The Malahat area isn't very camp friendly. Mt Prevost is great..although its not all that high. Saltspring, specifically Mt.Taum, and Mt.Bruce seem to be the best in the islands area for radio, views, good vibrations, and photog. Mt Benson to the north, and west of NAnaimo is in permanent lockdown. Was great in the 80's for CB skip shooting. Mt Arrowsmith near Parksville is great, and one can drive to the 4000ft level with a car, weather permitting, and has some old CPR ski lift ruins to explore in amazing rare alpine forest. Forbidden Plateau is great, with lots of old ski lift ruins. Mt Washington has some great radio towers you can get to, even in a car with good tires, and has pavement most of the way to them. Mt Cain is rustic and nice to explore too, it's not developed like other ski areas. So...Does anyone know of any rural, high places one can camp, with a good view, and maybe even some explorations to be had? Get high on mountains...not drugs! Approved! SSI, Mt.Bruce. Good times. Camping...Mt.Prevost! (note radio nerd gear)

| I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too! |
